Chapter Seventeen

Glancing over his shoulder, Ken watched as Angie tugged Betty by the hand toward the back of the building. His mate tossed him an anxious look before disappearing in an alley that led behind Scratch Your Itch. She didn't have any reason to worry. Angie would take care of her. His heart weighed heavy. She had better take care of Betty. He had planned on spending the whole day with her. This unexpected development left a hole in his schedule and he wasn’t the type to leave the gap empty.

He scratched his chin and scanned the sky. Maybe he should start moving Betty out of the rescue and into his home.

With the orphanage fundraiser, they should hopefully find the animals prospective homes, then she could make the move permanent. Voila. Eviction problem solved.

Eardrum piercing screams split the air. He pressed his hands over his sensitive ears and spun toward the source, crouched and ready to fight.

Angie, in her white dragon form, beat her wings as she gained altitude. His soulmate clutched in one of her clawed talons, screaming like a monster movie victim.

Feet rooted on the pavement, Ken drowned in horror as one of Betty shoes hit the storefront window of the coffee shop down the street. He had thought Angie had some kind of riding harness and Betty would be on her back. He reached for his trigger memory to shift when Betty stopped screaming and waved at him.

Angie dived close enough for him to see a self-satisfied grin on Betty’s face aimed in his direction.

Trigger memory vanished. He rubbed his head as the dragon carted her off to the castle. Betty had just scared ten years off his life and she found it amusing? Was this what their relationship would be like? They needed to have a talk. Teasing him was one thing—this crossed a line.

A hand landed on his shoulder and Ken jumped high enough to slam into the streetlight above. Shattered glass rained down on him.

Joshua, one of his packmates, stared at him with wide eyes. “You're looking…pale.” He brushed off pieces of the light from Ken’s shoulders.

Ken took a deep breath and reined in his nerves. Joshua was high in the pack’s hierarchy. Showing weakness in front of the other hunter wasn’t acceptable and would give Joshua bad ideas. He couldn't beat Ken in a challenge, but Joshua believed differently. Ken didn't want to put him in a hospital again. Those bills were high and the pack had better things to spend their money on than a hunter's ego.

“Was that your mate the dragon just stole?” Joshua asked. Other hunters from the pack were with him. They wore shorts and sweat stained T-shirts and smelled like his locker in high school. One of them was carrying a basketball.

“No—yes.” Ken shook his head. “Yes, that was my mate but the dragon didn't steal her. You know better than that, Josh. Angie and Betty are friends.” Stretching the truth was as close as a lie a shifter could try without being detected.
